Running Back Rank: #16
Overall: #24
Jones played a full season for just the first time in his career, serving as the lead back for the Cowboys most weeks. He set career highs in nearly every offensive category, including 1,250 total yards. The Cowboys were pass-first offensively, but Jones had double-digit carries 11 games. He had just one 100-yard game and ran for 70-plus yards five times. He got consistent work, but his numbers weren't off the charts. The biggest positives were Jones showed he could handle the workload and play a full season. Jones should remain the lead back in Dallas, but likely share carries and lose a lot of the goal-line work, which was the case last season (one rushing touchdown). Jones is a home-run threat every time he touches the ball and is as fast as any back in the game. Jones isn't the biggest back, though, which lends him to getting nicked up from time to time. He is a plus receiver, catching an impressive 48 passes last season, which gets him in the field in key passing downs.

His touchdown potential hurts his fantasy value, but you have to be encouraged by last season. He has a lot of total yardage potential. A season with 1,500 total yards and seven or so scores seem realistic for Jones. He can be a solid No. 2 back for fantasy teams, playing in a good Cowboys offense. |

| Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones (hamstring) carried four times for 24 yards in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was taken out after a few snaps in the first half, but made it through the game without any setbacks. 'Felix was getting himself ready all week to try and play in this game,' head coach Jason Garrett said Sunday, Dec. 24. 'He didn't practice the whole week. He did more stuff (Friday) to get himself ready and warmed up well before the game. That was going to be a situation we were going to monitor based on what was happening up in New York. If he was ready to go and play we were going try and give him a go.' |
| Fantasy Impact: Jones should be just fine for Week 17. |
